Courtois ended his stay at Stamford Bridge to move to the Santiago Bernabeu for a reported €35million in a transfer that raised more than a few eyebrows in the Spanish capital.

The 26-year-old's loyalties were previously with Atletico, where he won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, the Europa League and the UEFA Super Cup during a three-year spell on loan from Chelsea, which finished before Saul established himself in the first team.
